I just got the Casio QV2000UX as my 1st digital camera and am very pleased with it. However, I would like to get a bigger compactflash card than the 8 meg that comes with it. The camera accepts both type I and type II cards. Question: what is the advantage of getting the more expensive type II CF card?

Alfred, I know of no advantage except that more memory is availabe in the CF type II configuration. I believe cards up to about 220 MB are made in the type II size. The IBM microdrive is also a type II device. It is currently made in 170 and 340 MB sizes, with larger sizes coming.
